Mangapapa Hotel

Wonderful property, full of history, great grounds, immaculate room, marvellous 5 course dinner and wines. So happy I stayed here!

Being very picky…. The small shower head didn’t live up to the standards set across the hotel.

The homestead feel and the grounds were fantastic, the trees were beautiful… and our host Hitomi was exceptional, always looking to understand and accomodate our needs. The staff were wonderful. The degustation diner is outstanding, in fact all of the food was fantastic.

The coffee! The spa / gym area needs some work.

While in Hawkes Bay for a family wedding my husband and I chose to stay at Mangapapa Lodge. Its a beautiful property, set in peaceful surroundings, the rooms are quiet luxury. Bathroom amenities, fabulous coffee from Hawthorne Roasters and fresh baked chocolate chip cookie's just a couple of little treats that add to your enjoyment. This is an elegant place and the service from the staff is next level. The dinner we ate at the Lodge was very good. No detail is overlooked. I would recommend Mangapapa Lodge for a special occasion stay or just to spoil yourself. 5 stars from me.

Great experience at this property. Hitomi, the property manager seemed to always be present and very supportive and helpful during our stay. The staff overall were friendly and responsive and the breakfasts were delicious. We also had dinner one night in their restaurant and it was exceptional. Our room (Orchard) was spotless, comfortable and well-equipped. Very solid choice in the Havelock North area and I'm so glad we chose this property over the Rosewood.

Itomi was the most incredible host. The 3 course set menu paired with wines was genuinely a 5 star experience. The property grounds are beautiful and room quite comfortable. The team were very accommodating for an early check out (I had a flight to catch) and even prepared a breakfast box and takeaway coffee for the journey.

We had an 8 night stay at this wonderful boutique hotel which is only a short distance from Havelock North surrounded by great wineries. It's also off the road up a magnificent long drive so it's serene, quiet and secure. The refurbished older building has a wonderful warmth about it with great history. They have every amenity and is perfectly set up for boutique accommodation with differing room types. The manager Hitomi is absolutely delightfully amazing and together with her fabulous team showed us wonderful hospitality with attention to our every need. We loved the personalized touches, menus and notes, so thoughtful and unexpected. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, felt extremely pampered. We reluctantly had to leave. This is truly one of, if not the best accommodation in the area.
